suggested a try.  Here's what my new config says:
proxy=http://DOMAIN%5Cfoo:bar@server:3128


[root at server network-scripts]# yum check-update
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
There was an error communicating with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.
Error communicating with server. The message was:
Connection refused

I double checked my firewall logs and it is completely ignoring the proxy
configuration because it is going directly to the Internet to get to RHN:
Jun 24 23:30:44 10.98.1.1 %ASA-4-106023: Deny tcp src VLAN197:
10.197.1.5/46109 dst outside:209.132.183.44/443 by access-group "VLAN197-in"
[0x0, 0x0]

It's hitting RHN directly, not via proxy.
